o all'whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, DANinL Kors, e. riti-A zen of the United States, residing in borough of Munhetton, city, county, .and Stute of New York, heve invented en lin provement in Brassires, of which the hil-I lowing is e specification.l

My present invention relates to e bres sire` particularly adapted for use in conne-etion with low-busted corsets and by stout women. As is understood by those o ueinted with the art, et the present e7 tie lowbusted corsetis in genenal use dus largely no doubtdto the prevailing lesbiens. In the use of low-busted corsets, partie larly by stout won-ien,` there is e tendency to develo e roll orleycrof iesh between the busts en the 'Lippen front edge of the ment, sindv oftemtinnes this is developed to such en extent` as to 'be inconvenient :ind also to produce ,an undesirable breek in the otherwise regular contour of the body of the wearer. `Theobject of my present irl-- vention is the provision of lelbrassire or brassire attachment so constructed that when in use it will obviate the dili'culty to which reference isherenbefore made and will reduce iflnot entirely eliminate the roll of flesh produced atlthe top edge of the cor-Y set endin all events will ineke the seine un observable through en outer gurnient by melting the contour of the body olf tl wearer symmetrical. In carrying ont this invention they brassire attachment con prises e pad adaptednt one edge to be connected tothe lower front edge of the body `of the brassire and to extend upwardly therefrom. This brassire pad is prefere ly triangular in crosssectionand is suitably provided with stays or` stleners to recoinplish the purpose hereinbefore ascribed to it.

In the` drawing:

Figure` 1 is en interior elevation showing e. brassire made in accordance with this invention. r

Fig. 2 is en elevation showing the geru ment in use on the body, and y Fig. 3 is en elevation showing s modiiled forni of the pad member employed. in con nection with the brassire.

Referring tothe drawing, the brassre made in accordance with thisinvention preferably comprises a body indica-ted et l0 5 and is so constructed as to be closed et the 5 t'ronty and t9 b9 et the back et. which stayed' or 'stilened the ports ere connected after being placed onlthe body ol the weere x The body olf' the brassire muy be suitably stiidened by sets ci stays placed on both sides of the medial line of the gerinent.. Those in the front ere indicated :it .lll and those in the bruik are ,indicated et l, although as will 'be under stood, the manner in which the gerlnentis provided 'wit-l oristiil'eners l''ornns no part of the g nt invention. Also in dieeted in l one end of the body of 1 ssire 'the ine fitted with. s series ..3 mld t the other end 'with e oorof eyelets lil adapted to ige ged by the hooks so to connect the of the garment for use on the body of the wearer. Also in the beck of the gni nient l. may employ one or more strips of yielding materiel, such for exemple es clestie iebric indicated et, l5 for the purpose of yieldingly maintaining the garment on the body of the wearer. Furthermore as shown in 'this figure the brassire body is also snit nbly fitted with shoulder strips 16.

ln connection with the brassire es here inbefore described or of any other construe tionp l ein -doy s. psd indicated et l. This pad corny tes body' member preferably trieingulztr in ccnignrstion end fitted with serios ots vs 18 indicated in Fig. l rnnnl snbsin ly from the of the tri- ,il Y :ingle to ine b:

l r eci' end therefore being in e ceiitrel g n and extending longitudinally ol' the body oi' the wearer when in use. ils shown in Fig. 3 the psd member may also oe -provided with suitable stays or sti'eners 19 running along the opposite side edges, loi-.n short distance above the bese, are also" secured to the body of the y bressire along lines of sewing indicated et 9.1 and 22 the opposite sides of the psd` When in -nse es will be understood, thtl lower edge of. the brassire overlaps the up per edge or'. the corset garment and the ed hemelse desde@ cured in the pad and extendin will prevent the 'tendency to producelthe roll of flesh between the busts and the upper edge of the corset, or when this effect has' been produced, the pad will control and tend to eliminate the same.

I claim as my invention;

..l. As a new article of manufacture, a

brassire comprising a body member, a sub- *stantially triangular shaped pad independent of the brassire body member, stay'sseapproximately from the apex to the base line thereof, the said pad being` adapted to-be secured along its base line to the lower front portion of the brassire body member.
